<p>Media pembelajaran digital mampu menyimpan data dalam bentuk log data yang dapat digunakan untuk melihat perbedaan performa siswa yang tentu saja berbeda-beda antara satu siswa dengan siswa yang lainnya. Perbedaan performa siswa tersebut menyebabkan dibutuhkannya sebuah tahapan yang berfungsi untuk mempermudah proses evaluasi dengan cara menempatkan siswa kedalam kelompok yang sesuai agar dapat membantu tenaga pengajar dalam menangani serta memberikan umpan balik yang tepat pada siswanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan memanfaatkan log data dari sebuah media pembelajaran digital dengan menggunakan kombinasi dari algoritme S<em>elf-Organizing Map</em> dan <em>Fuzzy C-Means </em>untuk mengelompokan siswa berdasarkan aktivitas mereka selama belajar dengan media tersebut. Data akan melalui sebuah proses reduksi dimensi dengan menggunakan algoritme SOM, lalu dikelompokkan dengan menggunakan algoritme FCM. Selanjutnya, data dievaluasi dengan menggunakan nilai <em>silhouette coefficient </em>dan dibandingkan dengan algoritme SOM <em>clustering </em>konvensional. Berdasarkan hasil implementasi yang telah dilakukan menggunakan 12 data <em>assignment </em>pada media pembelajaran <em>Monsakun</em>, dihasilkan parameter-parameter optimal seperti ukuran <em>map </em>atau jumlah <em>output neuron </em>sejumlah 25x25 dengan nilai <em>learning rate </em>yang berbeda-beda disetiap <em>assignment</em>. Selain itu, diperoleh pula 2 kelompok siswa pada setiap <em>assignment </em>berdasarkan nilai <em>silhouette coefficient </em>tertinggi yang mencapai lebih dari 0.8 di beberapa <em>assignment</em>. Melalui serangkaian pengujian yang telah dilakukan, penerapan kombinasi algoritme SOM dan FCM secara signifikan menghasilkan <em>cluster </em>yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan algoritme SOM <em>clustering </em>konvensional.</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p> <em>Digital learning media is able to store data in the form of log data that can be used to see differences in student performance. The difference in student performance causes the need for a stage that functions to simplify the evaluation process by placing students into appropriate groups in order to assist the teaching staff in handling and providing appropriate feedback to students. This study aims to utilize log data from a digital learning media using a combination of the Self-Organizing Map algorithm and Fuzzy C-Means to classify students based on their activities while learning with these media. The data will go through a dimensional reduction process using the SOM algorithm, then grouped using the FCM algorithm. Furthermore, the data were evaluated using the silhouette coefficient value and compared with the conventional SOM clustering algorithm. Based on the results of the implementation that has been carried out using 12 data assignments on the Monsakun learning media, optimal parameters such as map size or the number of neuron outputs are 25x25 with different learning rate values in each assignment. In addition, 2 groups of students were obtained for each assignment based on the highest silhouette coefficient score which reached more than 0.8 in several assignments. Through a series of tests that have been carried out, the implementation of a combination of the SOM and FCM algorithms has significantly better clusters than the conventional SOM clustering algorithm.</em></p>

Background and objective: In the current pandemic scenario, data mining tools are fundamental to evaluate the measures adopted to contain the spread of COVID-19. In this study, unsupervised neural networks of the Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) type were used to assess the spatial and temporal spread of COVID-19 in Brazil, according to the number of cases and deaths in regions, states, and cities. Materials and methods: The SOM applied in this context does not evaluate which measures applied have helped contain the spread of the disease, but these datasets represent the repercussions of the country’s measures, which were implemented to contain the virus’ spread. Results: This approach demonstrated that the spread of the disease in Brazil does not have a standard behavior, changing according to the region, state, or city. The analyses showed that cities and states in the north and northeast regions of the country were the most affected by the disease, with the highest number of cases and deaths registered per 100,000 inhabitants. Conclusions: The SOM clustering was able to spatially group cities, states, and regions according to their coronavirus cases, with similar behavior. Thus, it is possible to benefit from the use of similar strategies to deal with the virus’ spread in these cities, states, and regions.

Most traditional clustering algorithms are limited to handle data sets that contain either continuous or categorical variables. However data sets with mixed types of variables are commonly used in data mining field. In this paper we introduce a weighted self-organizing map for clustering, analysis and visualization mixed data (continuous/binary). The learning of weights and prototypes is done in a simultaneous manner assuring an optimized data clustering. More variables has a high weight, more the clustering algorithm will take into account the informations transmitted by these variables. The learning of these topological maps is combined with a weighting process of different variables by computing weights which influence the quality of clustering. We illustrate the power of this method with data sets taken from a public data set repository: a handwritten digit data set, Zoo data set and other three mixed data sets. The results show a good quality of the topological ordering and homogenous clustering.

There is an increasing interest in clustering time course gene expression data to investigate a wide range of biological processes. However, developing a clustering algorithm ideal for time course gene express data is still challenging. As timing is an important factor in defining true clusters, a clustering algorithm shall explore expression correlations between time points in order to achieve a high clustering accuracy. Moreover, inter-cluster gene relationships are often desired in order to facilitate the computational inference of biological pathways and regulatory networks. In this paper, a new clustering algorithm called CurveSOM is developed to offer both features above. It first presents each gene by a cubic smoothing spline fitted to the time course expression profile, and then groups genes into clusters by applying a self-organizing map-based clustering on the resulting splines. CurveSOM has been tested on three well-studied yeast cell cycle datasets, and compared with four popular programs including Cluster 3.0, GENECLUSTER, MCLUST, and SSClust. The results show that CurveSOM is a very promising tool for the exploratory analysis of time course expression data, as it is not only able to group genes into clusters with high accuracy but also able to find true time-shifted correlations of expression patterns across clusters.
